TECH: G Whiz
Hot on the heels of the Samsung S5, is the LG G3, which pairs a classy metallic body with light yet powerful software. The main features include a 13MP back camera and 2.1MP front camera with laser autofocus and optical image stabilization to reduce blur and shake, 5.5-inch screen displaying a pixel density of 538ppi, making for a very sharp print quality. The phone also boasts a simpler user interface, packaging together a number of apps, while the smart keyboard even offers emoji suggestions (for when you don’t know how to feel). Available in black, white, gold, violet and burgundy. $785 at One Phone or on a contract at any major network provider.
STYLE: Go Wyld
Previously an online-only offering, The Wyld Shop has gone brick-and-mortar at Raffles Place. This new Aussie-focused boutique will stock weekend- and club-appropriate womenswear, accessories and faux-jewellery. Much loved Aussie brands like MinkPink, Le Specs and Staple the Label will make an appearance, items to look out for include cute, splashy t-shirt dresses, chandelier-like ear cuffs and warrior-ish cuff bracelets from Survivor.
STYLE: Racecar Treads
In case you weren’t aware that F1 season is upon us, Puma is launching a new range of clothes and shoes with a race car theme, featuring BMW, Ferrari and Mercedes logos and colors. The signature Mercedes sneaker is designed for British driver Lewis Hamilton and has Hamilton’s signature and the Mercedes logo on the shoe. There’s also a design inspired by German Nico Rosberg featuring the German flag colors and the coordinates of Rosberg’s birth town of Wiesbaden on the sole. Clearly for dedicated fans.
